The Great Indian Kapil Show season 2 is set to lighten up the stage on Netflix. The star cast recently spilled the beans about their co-stars in an interview. Comedians like Kiku Sharda, Krushna Abhishek, Sunil Grover, Rajiv Thakur, and Archana Puran Singh will feature in the show.

In a recent interview, Sunil Grover disclosed that Kiku Sharda kept his phone switched off for two days in fear of Sunny Deol after mimicking him. When the interviewer asked him about Sunny Deol’s response Kiku Sharda said, “I didn’t receive any call like that, but I met him, of course, after doing whatever needed to be done. He’s very sweet. I never did anything in front of him. He even came to the show, and we discussed it. We won’t do anything in front of him.”

Another entertaining cast of the show is Rajiv Thakur who recently acted in Anubhav Sinha’s IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack as a terrorist. When he was asked about joining the The Great Indian Kapil Show crew Archana Puran Singh remarked, “He goes for a while and then returns. He leaves for his LIVE shows but comes back. He makes us look bad that we don’t call him. He earns good money and then we call him back on the show.” He also shared the experience of IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack and said, “I got a lot of love for that project and it seems like that’s why they’ve called me back in this season.” Archana Puran Singh praised him as a “multitalented” artist.

About the show with Kapil Sharma, Rajiv Thakur added, “I was with Kapil Paaji when I got to know that the series has been released and I informed him about the same and he wished me luck. He binge-watched the series and loved the same. He texted Anubhav Sinha and then called me to appreciate me.” He also mentioned how Achana Puran Singh shared a story from his web series and praised him after watching it. Rajiv Thakur humbly acknowledged that Kapil Sharma postponed their show because he was working on that project.

When Archana Puran Singh was asked about both Rajiv Thakur and Krushna Abhishek’s offscreen personality, she praised Krishna saying, “Bahut hardworking hai. Matlab of course everyone is hardworking but Krushna ka matlab, mei vanity se niklungi toh kabhi saree, salwar kameez pehni hui hai, kabhi shirt, kiss kiss avatar mei nai dekha hai usko. Buss woh apni linei karta rehta hai.”

For both the well-crafted artists she said, “You can’t say that these guys have reached a level and then they now resting on their laurels. Not at all mei Krushna hu yaar. I have been ruling the stage for so many years. I can do this character no. Every day is a new challenge, a fresh challenge they want to overcome to their best.”
